Although I find it sad to see kf.com go, it is time I suppose.
I remember working with Shawn on parts of the code trying to incorporate some .net libraries which has been very interesting to say the least and fun most of all.
However, that time has long since passed.
Even in my job as a Systems Engineer for a large company I use KiXtart less and less, only for the quick results I still use it.
The last time I actually used Kixforms was almost 8 years ago to write a LDAP browser in kixforms.net and that was only because I was bored.
And the last time I actually referenced kix.com I can't even remember.
And how many times did we joke about Shawn actually mentioning something here on the forum and then being AWOL for months/years again.

So what I'm trying to say is Thank You Rod, for keeping it alive as long as you did.
I do believe in making the kixforms code open source on github or codeplex so people can learn from it. I don't think it is a viable solution for people to maintain the code as it is smarter for new users to learn PowerShell for forms-based scripting.
